YouTube live chat downloader
The conversation doesn't end when the stream does. Live streams create dynamic, real-time conversations between creators and their audience. These fast-moving chats contain valuable insights, instant reactions, and authentic feedback that disappear once the stream ends. Our live chat downloader preserves every message and user interaction from any YouTube live stream replay.

Frequently asked questions
Not at all! You can download the complete chat history from any live stream replay. As long as the replay is publicly available on YouTube, our tool can extract the entire conversation that happened during the original live stream.
Yes, every single chat message is exported with its original timestamp from the stream. This allows you to sync the chat with specific moments in the video and understand exactly when audience reactions occurred.
Our tool focuses on capturing standard public chat messages, which represent the majority of live stream interaction. Specialized message types like Super Chats, channel member messages, or moderator actions may not be included in the export.
Yes. You can upload your export to external AI tools like ChatGPT to summarize sentiment and highlight key moments. This helps you see where audience mood shifts during the stream.
Our system can handle live stream replays of any length, from short streams to multi-hour marathons. For very long streams with thousands of chat messages, the processing may take a few extra minutes, but you'll get the complete chat history regardless of stream duration.
Problem and solution
The problem with lost conversations
Live stream chats move incredibly fast, often generating thousands of messages during a single stream. Viewers share instant reactions, ask questions, provide feedback, and create a community experience that's unique to live content. But once the stream ends, this valuable conversation history becomes almost impossible to access or analyze systematically.
Traditional methods of saving chat conversations involve manual screenshot capture or third-party tools that only work during the live stream itself. This means creators lose critical audience insights, can't respond to questions they missed, and have no way to study engagement patterns that could improve future streams.
Complete chat archive
Our live chat downloader extracts the full chat history from any YouTube live stream replay. Every message, relative time, username, and interaction is preserved in a structured format for easy reference. You don't need to be present during the live stream - as long as the replay exists, we can capture the conversation.
This turns short-lived chat conversations into a permanent, searchable archive. You can identify engaged viewers, study audience sentiment during specific moments, and use the data to improve future streams.
